The underlying principles of photovoltaic energy conversion are briefly reviewed, with particular reference to solar application. Although most photovoltaic converters to date have been based on semiconductor p–n junctions, more general structures and materials are feasible. The fundamental requirements for photovoltaic conversion are
The demand for clean energy is on the rise every year, and solar cells provide more green energy than any other suitable large-scale energy source. 1–3 Unlike most other renewable energy sources, solar cells are capable of meeting current energy demands. 4–7 The current solar energy market is dominated by silicon PV, which is a mature technology.
Planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be made in either a regular n–i–p structure or an inverted p–i–n structure (see Fig. 1 for the meaning of n–i–p and p–i–n as regular and inverted architecture), They are made from either organic–inorganic hybrid semiconducting materials or a complete inorganic material typically made of triple cation semiconductors that
Solar assisted heat pump drying utilizes a solar collector to absorb solar energy and convert it into heat energy, which is absorbed by the refrigerant in the heat pump system. This heat energy is eventually transferred to the air in the drying chamber, causing the moisture of the materials in the drying chamber to evaporate, thus achieving the purpose of
In real solar cells, however, part of the collected solar energy is dissipated in a number of channels from the device. The main mechanisms of energy losses are due to the

What''s more, we provide a comprehensive discussion on the recent strategies to mitigate Pb leakage by device architecture engineering from device exterior to interior (i.e., trapping Pb in encapsulation layers, charge transport layers and perovskite layers).
The device harvested a high proportion of the incident solar energy flux of 46% and showed exceptionally high efficiencies, even more than 80% efficiencies for the conversion of incident photons to electrical current. The overall incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) yield was 7.1–7.9% in simulated solar light and 12% in diffuse daylight. A large short circuit

Herein, we succeed in mitigating Pb leakage of PSCs, for the first time, via implanting in situ polymerized networks into perovskites. We strategically transform the dormant monomer additives into chelating polymer networks within perovskite layers, which not only passivate the defects of perovskite but also protect Pb 2+ from water dissolution.
Chemical absorption is an effective strategy to prevent Pb leakage from damaged or broken perovskite solar modules; this strategy traps mobile Pb 2+ ions by bonding in Pb-containing solutions. According to the position of the absorption compounds inside or outside the devices, we divide them into internal and external absorption strategies.
The non-renewable energy sector in today''s economy depends heavily on Solar Energy which converts energy from the sun into electricity. The main point about solar energy is that, the energy is absorbed from the rays of sunlight and therefore making it necessary for a solar cell to be opaque so that it absorbs the energy from the light and for this reason it

In real solar cells, however, part of the collected solar energy is dissipated in a number of channels from the device. The main mechanisms of energy losses are due to the presence of various forms of resistances against the flow of charges. A solar cell is therefore modelled by equivalent circuit which takes into consideration the resistances
Solar energy spectra for three different air mass conditions. To simulate the radiation spectrum of the sun at various places, we use 6000K black-body radiation at the origin (sun), then 5700K black-body radiation for the spectrum on the earth''s surface. If we quantify the amount of energy radiated from the sun''s surface to electrical power, it equals to 3.8×10 23
